Molecular Condom' may protect women from HIV
Women who are fed up with their partners not wearing condoms during sex may soon have a new tool to protect themselves against HIV infection. Scientists at the University of Utah have created a gel that women can apply internally that works as a “molecular condom” to block the virus from entering the vagina. Their findings were published online yesterday in the journal Advanced Functional Materials. The distribution of this gel could greatly reduce the transmission of HIV in both developing and developed countries, while offering women a discreet way to take control of their sexual health.

Sarafianos, an assistant professor of microbiology and immunology in MU's School of Medicine. Read more
